Hey ramy, why don't you start your own website? I bet you would make more money that way. Think about it, you could draw a new bunny shirt and print it EVERY DAY if you wanted. I dunno, give it some thought...?

Please state the precise US statute and relevant case law to support your assertion. I suspect that you cannot, because parody is only one possible fair use. There is no statute that calls out a requirement for parody to the exclusion of all other fair use.

You'll note that the article points out there are 4 aspects when considering fair use, and only one of them is potential market effect, which is not exactly the same thing as profit.

I believe if you study the Terms & Conditions, it quite effectively shields Woot, its subsidiaries, etc from liability arising from copyright infrigement. I suspect it would be the artist that would need to defend a fair use claim.

'a' being the operative word.

And, as I said, no where in the call for submissions did Woot require parody.

Moreover, nowhere in the original film did the Tim character conjure up a fiery rabbit. This image is a justoposition of the pyrotechnic effects created by that character, as well as his relation to the killer rabbit skit. Therefore it could easily be considered a commentary or reflection on how that justaposition affected and inspired the artist.

Yes, exactly. I really liked the thumbnail. But the square and the placement kind of put me off.

I like the submission, it got my vote, but I don't quite love the submission. I don't think it's quite clear without the title that the magic is coming from the beard, since the sparkles are surrounding his entire body.

I bet I know what happened - I think I used the eyedropper tool for the background color, since the swatch numbers are not listed on your Artist Template, just the color names. I will not make that mistake again. Thank you for the response.

Cats: Good on shirts

Humans: Mediocre at best on shirts

It doesn't. Seeing as how 5/9 in the fog have humans and 1/9 has a cat (this shirt which would look better and be better conceptually with a humanoid genie) I'd say your argument holds very little water.

This Swede-blood loves it! Voted for it early on, so happy it's made the cloud! Lots of good fun designs this derby, but few make good shirts. This one, however, is made of awesome. Just like his beard.

You're both entitled to your opinions, which you've graced us all with a-plenty, but you should stop presenting them as fact, simply because it comes off arrogant and annoying.
But while we're sharing, this shirt teeters on wear-ability for me, but if there was a giant ugly man genie in the center of it, it would be very far beyond unwearable to me.

Really cool design, though the shadow coming off of his right leg going left is incorrect (doesn't extend to his foot). Unless he's got a stumpy left leg, but then other shadows don't work, so I dunno.

I don't really thing the money would be there

He makes a design for woot... he gets a thousand dollars plus reckoning sales.

If he made his own site he'd have to pay the cost of printing the shirt, sending the shirt, etc... He'd have to sell a LOT more shirts to get to the thousand dollar mark.

It'd also take a LOT more effort.

I know there are a LOT of Ramy fans on woot, but how many would regularly buy Ramy shirts at 15-20 bucks a pop? Sure some ramy shirts last a while on the reckoning, but they spending a lot of time barely staying alive.

Munchy Attack If you can find the name of this artist & real song title I'll buy you a daily woot shirt (your choice what day)

Dystopia Dark Lager, Where the Wild Parties at?, B.A. Bearacus, and many more wanted in XXL(PLEASE!!!)
Edgar Allen Poe shall remained headlock'd until Nevermore is reckoned.

I like how you added color, if I hadn't seen it I woulda thought that that much red would be too much.
For criticism, I think you over did the crosshatching on the hat. I think the first colored version in the prederby looked cleaner without that extra shading.
